Paris!

Sorry for the delay with posting. The three of us have been working hard getting results and, well, being in Europe. But this blog will be updated with our adventures and progress soon, we promise! Our second long weekend (6/11-6/13) was spent in Paris, France. It was a quick 1.5 hour train ride from our Leuven train station with a transfer at Brussels train station.

Paris was a lot of fun for all of us and the subway system made it convenient to get around. We hit the following attractions: the Louvre Museum (twice, because once wasn't enough for us), the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower.

I'll let pictures show you the rest!
